GBS Procure welcomes new Procurement Apprentice, Lucy Weir

We’re delighted to welcome Lucy Weir to GBS Procure as our new Procurement Apprentice.

Lucy joined the team on 26 October 2026 and will be gaining hands-on experience across our procurement projects while working towards her CIPS Level 4 Procurement and Supply apprenticeship.

Building on previous experience

Lucy joins GBS following her degree in Environment and Business at the University of Leeds.

During her studies, she also completed a year-long placement with Uniper, where she gained experience supporting project delivery, coordinating stakeholder inputs, tracking progress and working with project and commercial data.

Her previous experience gives her a strong foundation as she begins developing her knowledge of procurement and working alongside the GBS team on live client projects.

Learning through real procurement projects

As part of her apprenticeship, Lucy will have the opportunity to develop her professional knowledge alongside practical experience across different stages of the procurement process.

Working with the wider GBS team will allow her to build experience in areas including project coordination, stakeholder engagement and procurement delivery, while developing a broader understanding of how effective procurement supports our clients.

Continuing to develop procurement talent

Apprenticeships continue to play an important role in developing our team at GBS Procure.

Lucy joins Isabel Ballinger, our Project Management Apprentice, while Lewis Pavey, now Procurement Business Partner, also began his career with GBS through an apprenticeship route before progressing within the business.

We believe combining professional learning with meaningful, hands-on experience gives apprentices the opportunity to build their knowledge, confidence and responsibility as their careers develop.

We’re looking forward to supporting Lucy as she begins her career in procurement and becomes part of the GBS team.

Welcome to GBS Procure, Lucy!
